    Copper block is being fitted with 1/4" ID 3/8"OD plumbing over 1/4" thick copper block covering all chips.

    I will likely have to get some 1/4" barbs for the copper tubing. Looking like it would be pretty hard to stretch 1/4" tube over 3/8" even with heat.


    I was also considering this laptop pad as it already has a pump (usb), rad, plumbing, fan and is already mounted.


    I couldn't find any reviews on it though but have found for 75 plus shipping.

    Even a cheaper heatsink, pump (usb or 12v), plumbing, pad will cost more then $75. Only hesitant because of no known reviews on cooler pad.


    **update**
    Cooler block brought into work today for update.

    Ah ok, I was going to offer you a TL-60..

    AS for the SSD, I did an article about real world performance gains in laptops with an SSD on my blog.. short answer: 25% faster boot time on average, and significant increase in application response.

    But of course since the dv6000 only allows one drive, it's an issue. A DV9000 however can have two hdd's.. just a thought.

    Thanks for the thought! Isn't that what really matters? lol

    Yeah, the SSD I think would be nice, but for the cost I don't think I will be able to get a decent one size wise. It will ultimately be used for gaming at a small lan with co-workers every other wed so the size will need to be decent for installed games.

    I will have to look at 7200rpm i think or just save for a good SSD.

    For the DV9000, I did have a chance to get one with the same issue as mine which I actually fixed for the computer shop. He offered me to purchase it for $150 but there is no dedicated graphics and the motherboards are quite a bit more expensive over any of the DV6000 series boards, plus find a decent graphics installed one. The dual HDD would be nice though. Ultimately, I could use the DVD-Rom slot for an external storage type if needed.

    Still have to figure out the cooler pad for all the stuff needed.

    Current parts:
    Block shown above
    Thermaltake Delta DC 12V Pump 3pin 72L/Hr (~$20)


    Thermaltake 80mm Copper Water cooling radiator F 1/4" (quite thick and could make hard to find mount location with fan) (~$27)

    OR
    Scythe SCVSG-1000 Setsugen (would need quite a bit of mod but thin build makes ideal fit) (~$45)


    All prices are shipped prices.

    **update**
    found a non-working dv9000/8600m GS with a current bid of $120 (14hr left). That wouldn't include the price of a board if the reflow wouldn't work.

    Well, how about I make you the greatest offer of all time..

    I have a DV9000 with NVidia 8400m graphics, and an Intel CPU... and I will give to you for free, but you pay shipping.

    I would like to keep the screen from it, since I can use that on my dv6000 board, but I will send you the complete unit otherwise.. it has the nvidia failure (I repaired once with a reflow, but it didnt last) so I know it can be repaired again.

    I'll verify all the details tonight when I get home, and let you know.

    Got the new board installed and everything is good to go on that end now. With the stock cooling, it still its 90C+ just doing the windows rating. Running it in power saver until a better solution is installed.

    Also got the cooler back with 3/8 tubing installed. Problem though. Cooler is slightly tweaked from what im assuming was the heating process for tubing. Also, there is too much gap from CPU to CHP to GPU. Going to see if the block can be cut to separate the CPU/CHP from the GPU.

    still pending block changes.

    update-
    even in power save, running at 803Mhz (vs normal 2.1Ghz). playing a video in windowed mode still brought temps up pretty high.

    Speedfan
    GPU- 51max
    Core- 75max
    Temp1- 74max
    HD0- 42max

    This is with the stock cooler, proper shim and AS5 on all 3 chips.

    Hey, I remember getting my laptop up to 80 when folding.

    O.O

    What a nightmare that was!
    Two years. They were great. Let's make the next ones even better!

    lol, yeah.

    If it were 80max, I would be OK with that. Max per CPU spec sheet is 95. I have seen the cpu when not throttle spike to 93 which is too close for comfort. I can play hd video at 800Mhz although it does stutter slightly. Full cpu power and its fine but not until this cooling solution is done.

    BTW:
    I think I narrowed down the core parts list.
    Waterblock x2 (1/4" OD)- $41


    Pump (20GPH 1/4" OD)- $19


    Radiator (80mm 1/4" OD)- $27


    Total incl. ship- $87

    I would still need:
    fan
    hose
    zip ties (if i don't have enough)
    res (optional $20)
    cooler pad
    quick connects
    temp sensor and accessories


    OR

    Should I get an H60 (has rotating barbs on pump) and mod it with blocks? The pump goes for 55(shipped) and up.
